Dwight Howard wrote on his Twitter account that he's officially decided to join the Rockets. The free agent wrote this on his Twitter account late Friday night:

"I've decided to become a member of the Houston Rockets. I feel its the best place for me and I am excited about joining the Rockets and I'm looking forward to a great season. I want to thank the fans in Los Angeles and wish them the best."

Howard's official Twitter account @DwightHoward has a photo of him wearing a Rockets jersey as the main photo. The change was apparently made sometime Friday evening.

After Howard's Twitter post, Kobe Bryant also made it official by unfollowing Howard on his Twitter account, according to The Orlando Sentinel. Bryant posted a picture of he and Pau Gasol in an embrace during a game with the following: "#vamos #juntos #lakercorazon #vino".

Howard, in return, unfollowed Bryant on his account.

Sporting News' Sean Deveney reported Friday that Howard was sold on making the Rockets his new team, leaving the Lakers as a free agent for what could be an $88 million deal over four years. Other reports had said Howard was meeting with the Lakers and that a final decision hasn't been made.

But that's apparently old news now.

The Rockets were making room to get under the salary cap on Friday, shipping rookie Royce White to Philadelphia, freeing up another $1.7 million in salary space. There's also been reports the Rockets will deal either guard Jeremy Lin and/or center Omer Asik.
